Precedes all flown missions, but is distinguished by the fact that it is the last AGC software that retains a full suite of self-test software, and is thus indispensable for validating software and hardware simulations of the guidance computer.

Apollo Guidance Computer software, not used for any flown mission, though theoretically targeted for the Lunar Module. As of February 2017, it is the oldest-known still-surviving AGC code. At the time it was written in 1965, its purpose was to port AGC code written for the Command Module's early "Block I" AGC to the later-model "Block II" AGC used for the flown Lunar Module missions.

While it purports to be non-mission-specific, it relates to Colossus 3 and to Luminary 1E, and should therefore be accurate for Apollo 15, 16, and 17, which used the software in question.

Describes a method of transforming coordinates from the vehicle coordinate system of a spacecraft employing a gimballess inertial measurements system into the inertial coordinate system, using only whole-number computations, with specific application to the Apollo Guidance Computer. The motivation for this is the desire to provide a gimballess inertial measurement unit as a kind of backup or alternate approach to the Apollo guidance & navigation system's gimballed IMU.

This particular advantage is purely for the IBM 360 computer simulating a run of ZERLINA, and not for any purported usage in the LM, in that it requires less 360 CPU time than the regular task-scheduling algorithm in LUMINARY.
